Default Galaxy SII notification LED?

I saw a lot of Galaxy S2 preview movies now. But one thing I'm still missing is the notification led....
Lots of reviews, do a review with the charger hooked to the phone. But there's nowhere a led burning that the S2 is charging or something.

Is there a indication LED on the S2 or did the people at Samsung just leave it out?
Personally I think I would miss the led notification if it isn't there.....

Is there somebody who can tell a bit more about this?

Somebody told me that on the Galaxy S there was a way to use the buttons on the bottom of the device to use them as a notification led.... Anybody has more information about this? Or a movie as an example?

Found it!

Would be nice if this could be done on the S2.

Will this stress the LED bulbs out to a point where they will die out?

No, LED's have a lifetime well over 25 years of normal daily use. You will never burn them out unless it was defective.

...and a bunch of other phones in between
